We leave the mean streets of the big cities behind and join four radio detectives in western-themed mysteries - stories of cowboys, horses, cattle, and the wide open spaces. Philip Marlowe hunts for a killer on a dude ranch in “The Dude from Manhattan” (originally aired on CBS on July 2, 1949), and Richard Diamond heads to Oklahoma to prove an accidental death was a well-staged murder in “The Hatpin Murder Case” (originally aired on NBC on September 27, 1950). The Saint tries to keep a visiting cattleman alive during a visit to the Big Apple in “Death of a Cowboy” (originally aired on NBC on July 1, 1951), and Rocky Fortune gets a job - and a murder rap - in “The Rodeo Murder” (originally aired on NBC on January 12, 1954).
